The quality of the training pitches immediately caught Keith’s eye. “They are fantastic and then you’ve everything else to back that up,” he added. “The medical side of things and the facilties to help the players to get fit again.

“The recovery side of the game is so important now.”

All our Academy squads train at the centre as well and for Keith, whose great teams included many home-grown players, that was another key element.

“This is for all the kids in the Academy and they have everything here so they can try to push to be great players for Tottenham Hotspur.”
